cuz breaking up is hard to do

This morning on NPR, they had a clip on the shortfalls of American work benefits in comparson to other countries.  It's well known that Americans take the the least amount of vacations and are generally given less paid time off than elsewhere.  Few full-time employees call in sick more than two days in a row.  And even more interesting are those on maternity leave, who decide to come back to the job early.  Baby?  Hand it over to the grandparents or the nanny. 

But who takes care of us in the arena of relationships and heartache?  Ever find yourself in a puddle of mush beside the bed because the love of your life is on to greener pastures?  A Japanese cosmetic company is offering its employees paid time off after a breakup.  One day off is granted for those under 25 years old.  Three days are granted for those over 30 years old.  The belief is that relationships and breakups become more difficult as you age.  The sign of an aging heart.  Wonder what they give the 40 year olds...a new porsche?
